chimps are psychotic

Late this afternoon I felt the best that I had all week. The day may not have been overly exciting, but I didn't have any worries either. Even the fact that I had to go to work later in the night didn't bother me. Actually now that I think about it some more, overall this has been a good month for me and I hope that that trend continues through the rest of the year.

A month ago I had been in a panic about not having school to keep me busy, but now I am thinking that a semester away is a good thing. The free time has allowed me to think more about what I want from life instead of running back and forth to school and work. Suddenly down time has become a positive part of my life and ever so slowly I am getting used to having it.

More and more I've been thinking about where I live and what I own and what those things mean to me. Naturally it feels good to own my place, but at the same time I need to keep changing it to meet my taste. I guess that in some ways that makes sense, because seeing things in it that I've had for a decade doesn't seem right anymore. Part of me would like to throw everything out and start over but that'd be too drastic. Besides not all of it bothers me.

Even though I've been in my place for fifteen months it still has a temporary or just moved in look to it. My goal at the moment is fix that problem without spending too much money. So far I seem to be succeeding.

Other than the redecorating project and my trip in March, the rest of the year is an unknown to me. Oh, I might have school in the fall, but that hasn't been finalized. Nor do I have any real ideas about this summer. I seem to be caught in one of my just let life happen and go with it moods. Usually these are harmless enough and I don't mind the mild chaos that is part of the non-process.

The weatherman had been predicting snow and when I looked out the window this morning there was a hint of the stuff in the air and on the ground, but it was all gone when I woke for the second time in the afternoon. I wasn't surprised. This has been a very mild winter and I don't see it changing any time soon.

On my way to work tonight I stopped at the grocery store for some soda and saw a former coworker there. We shook hands and caught up with each other's lives. It was nice, because I hadn't ever expected to see him again. I had nothing against him when we worked at the same company, but he was the person that caused Nicole to stray from her fiance a few years back. Those were some tense times for her and she doesn't mention it anymore. When she does, however, she says that it is something that she won't do again.
